Frequently asked questions

Ceven accesses the TimelinesAI API to see all accounts connected to your workspace. When you trigger a message, you can specify which connected account should send the text. This allows a single agent to manage communications across different regional numbers or department specific accounts. The agent can route messages based on the incoming number or a tag assigned within TimelinesAI. If a message arrives on the sales number, the agent can trigger a sales workflow, while a message on the support number triggers a ticket creation flow in your helpdesk. Everything is centralized through the TimelinesAI hub, ensuring a single point of control for your team.
Yes, Ceven can manage files by first utilizing the upload tools to put a document into your TimelinesAI workspace. Once the file is uploaded and the agent retrieves the file ID, it can be attached to an outgoing message. This is useful for sending automated brochures, pricing sheets, or onboarding PDFs to customers. The agent manages the lifecycle of the file, from uploading the asset to verifying the download URL is active before sending. You can store these templates in a cloud folder and have Ceven upload them to TimelinesAI on demand based on the specific needs of the chat conversation.
If a WhatsApp account is disconnected from TimelinesAI, any attempted calls to send messages through that account will return an error. Ceven monitors these API responses in real time. When a disconnection is detected, the agent can trigger an internal notification to your admin team via Slack or email to alert them that the integration is down. This prevents leads from being ignored while the connection is broken. Once the account is reconnected through the TimelinesAI dashboard, the agent will automatically resume the pending message queue if you have configured a retry logic in your workflow.
While Ceven can process requests rapidly, you are subject to the rate limits imposed by both TimelinesAI and WhatsApp itself. WhatsApp has strict anti spam policies that can lead to number banning if you send too many unsolicited messages in a short window. TimelinesAI also has API rate limits based on your subscription tier. If the agent hits a rate limit, Ceven will receive a 429 error and will implement an exponential backoff strategy to retry the request. To avoid this, we recommend spacing out bulk outreach and using the agent to handle organic, conversation based replies rather than massive blast campaigns.
Ceven creates a webhook subscription in TimelinesAI that listens for specific events, such as a new incoming message. When that event occurs, TimelinesAI sends a payload to the Ceven callback URL. This triggers the designated agent to analyze the message content and decide on the next action. The agent can then pull customer data from your CRM, determine the correct response, and call the Send Message tool. This happens in seconds, providing the customer with a real time experience while keeping your team out of the loop for routine questions. You can manage these webhooks directly through the Ceven interface.
Yes, the agent can retrieve the message history for any chat that the connected TimelinesAI account has access to. Use the Get Chat Messages tool to pull the last few dozen messages to get context before the agent responds. This ensures the agent does not repeat questions the customer has already answered. The agent can also search across all chats to find specific keywords or customer names, making it easy to aggregate data from multiple conversations into a single report or CRM update without needing to manually scroll through the TimelinesAI dashboard.
Ceven acts as a processing layer between TimelinesAI and your other tools. While the agent processes the text of the messages to determine the correct response or data mapping, we do not maintain a permanent archive of your WhatsApp chat history. The source of truth remains TimelinesAI and your connected CRM. We store the configuration of your workflows and the API tokens required to communicate with the services. Any data pulled during a workflow run is held in volatile memory for the duration of the execution and is not used to train global models, ensuring your customer privacy remains intact.
When a customer sends a file, TimelinesAI generates a file record. Ceven can use the Get File Details tool to retrieve the metadata and the temporary download URL for that file. The agent can then pass this URL to other tools, such as uploading the image to a Salesforce record or sending it to a team member for review. Because these URLs are temporary for security reasons, the agent is designed to fetch the URL and move the file to permanent storage immediately upon receipt, ensuring that you do not lose important documents or images sent via WhatsApp.
